Inter Miami CF vs FC Cincinnati Preview and Team News
Inter Miami CF Team News
Inter Miami, known for keeping the ball for long periods of time and favoring a 4-4-2 formation, aim to continue their good run of form after having just defeated New York Red Bulls 5-1.
Sitting fifth in the league table, they’ve now won four of their last five matches and scored 13 goals during that span. However, the lack of clean sheets in their last eight outings suggests a slight breakdown in communication among their back four.

Lionel Messi, the competition’s top scorer with 18 goals, is expected to stamp his authority over this game as well, just as he did with a brace against the Red Bulls. Messi has also provided seven assists this season, while his ex-Barcelona teammate Suarez has registered 10. Together, they remain one of the most dangerous attacking duos in the league.
Against Cincinnati, Miami will be without several key players, such as Drake Callender, Allen Obando, Baltasar Rodriguez, Ian Fray, Noah Allen, and Oscar Ustari, all due to injuries. Maximilliano Falcon, meanwhile, has been suspended after accumulating too many yellow cards.
Inter Miami CF predicted lineup vs FC Cincinnati (4-4-2): Novo; Weigandt, Lujan, Aviles, Alba; Allende, Redondo, Busquets, Segovia; Messi, Suarez.
FC Cincinnati Team News
Cincinnati, sitting atop the league standings, are among the hopefuls for securing the Supporters’ Shield this season. In the upcoming clash, they’ll have to make do without the services of three vital players: Kevin Denkey, Yuya Kubo, and Obinna Nwobodo, all of whom remain sidelined with injuries sustained earlier this season.
Cincinnati, just like their opponents, have won four of their last five matches, with the lone blemish being a 2-4 loss to the Columbus Crew. Still, this hasn’t deterred them from being on top of the table, and their recent gritty 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake only reinforced their determination to stay at the top.

Playing in a 5-3-2 formation, Cincinnati had just 43% of the ball in that game and created only one big chance, which was converted into a goal. Otherwise, their attack lacked bite, with their players taking a total of 14 shots, four of which were on target.
While their passing accuracy was quite high at 84%, Cincinnati conceded 14 fouls in that encounter and will have to work hard on being more disciplined in defense against Miami if they are to secure their third consecutive clean sheet.
The team also boast the best away record in the league, having won eight of their 13 road fixtures so far.
FC Cincinnati predicted lineup vs Inter Miami (5-3-2): Celentano; Powell, Flores, Robinson, Hadebe, Engel; Bucha, Anunga, Ferreira; Baird, Valenzuela.
Inter Miami vs FC Cincinnati Prediction
- Pick: Inter Miami to win or draw
- Odds: -417 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Inter Miami 2-2 FC Cincinnati
Playing at home, Miami are expected to have an advantage. Their attacking duo of Messi and Suarez is unlikely to be rattled by Cincinnati’s defense, and it’s only a matter of time before they break through.
The visitors tend to play with five at the back, transitioning into a three-man line when in possession. These five defenders will be tasked with keeping close tabs on Messi and Suarez, but the duo almost always seem to evade their opponents’ grasp. Miami’s home form, however, leaves room for improvement, as they’ve won just six of their 10 matches at Chase Stadium this season.
Inter Miami vs FC Cincinnati Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: First half total – under two goals
- Odds: -345 (20Bet)
We’re expecting fewer than two goals to be scored in the first half. Both sides are evenly matched in terms of their tactical setup, and it’s highly unlikely that one will completely dominate the other.
Neither team are known for defensive lapses, which should keep the game tight in the first half. Miami are expected to press high, but Cincinnati’s short range of accurate passing should deter them. Also, the visitors’ five-man backline is renowned across the U.S. for being structured and extremely disciplined. Still, the tempo will likely rise in the second half, especially in the final stages.
Notably, the first half of the last two head-to-head meetings between these clubs featured two or fewer goals. In fact, they faced off just two fixtures ago, when Cincinnati defeated Miami 3-0 at home.
